Music of the Day #165

I love batponies, but if that decided to barge through my window one night, I'd probably freak out.

Onward to music of the day stuff! Get 9 tracks below.

And the usual genre reminder: Please include a genre with your songs! "Instrumental - Trance" is all I need in an email.

Story: Children of a Lesser Dragon God Boy Whelp Thingy Guy

[Comedy] A laugh-out-loud comedy, but beyond Celestia's terrible swift plunger and the unending tide of linguini and the rest of the riotous antics, you'll find a quieter story that's all the more touching for its restraint. - Pre Reader $#%^#%

Author: The Descendant

Description: When Spike asked Twilight to help him create The Noble Dragon Code, he hoped a lot of things would happen.

Getting worshipped as a god by legions of theologically-inclined dragons wasn't really one of them but, hey, whattcha gonna do? Them's the breaks, kiddo.

Abridged: / Ultra Fast Pony 31: Sister Angst

What do you guys think of splitting abridged stuff off from the roundup? Seems like only Friendship is Witchcraft does that these days, but they tend to be a bit more custom animation filled than these usually are.

Anyway, have another one of those Twilight Sparkle fanfiction things, and some Ultra Fast Pony breaking out of the roundup for the first time below.

Story: Bezithan (Update Part 2!)

[Adventure][Dark]

Author: Chromosome

Description: "We live in what we believe is a shell, a closed sphere where all is constant. As physics would have it, nothing in the universe is unique, nothing is wasted or destroyed: it is repurposed. But now I prove them wrong. With a single idea, I realize that we are not so insignificant as we think. We are not slaves to destiny and existence. We are the ashes of gods, the fruits of eternity, the products of choice and fate. We are not meaningless. This universe is not our prison.

This is our empire."

- Excerpt from A Lexicon of Impossibilities, by Cypher

Bezithan (New Part 2!)

BUCK Livestream

For all you late night people or European guys that aren't going to BUCK, there is a livestream going down for it, included in the Bronystate Newsletter.  I made a note of it in the roundup last night (mainly for the movie night that happened yesterday),  so this may be a bit of a repeat for some of you.

Anyway, get the copy pasta below, or just go pick your favorite pony theater and watch it yourself.

Hey pony people out there! Bronystate is coming at you live from across the pond! We will be having Brony Movie Night at 7pm EST, with the movies My Cousin Vinny and The Pentagon Wars in that order! Classic movies back to back along with pony episodes, how could you miss this? We will also be having our lottery to pick the next movie, so subscribe to our newsletter for a ballot! Your choice could be shown next week!

Instead of Euro Movie Night, we will be streaming our friends over at BUCK, the largest Brony convention in Europe! Can't make it to Manchester? We got you covered! From panels to contests to other fun things, we're bringing it all! The stream starts at 5am EST this Saturday, but it will continue all the way until the next day ends! You can't miss a moment and it will totally rock your socks!

Nightly Roundup #748

Oh hey, look what the batpony /mlp/ threads made.  Socks, Trixie, and Batpony? You shouldn't have!

We have another shorty roundup tonight.  Community stuff seems to be ramping down with summer rotating out.   We really need those episodes now!

Newbie Artist Training Grounds III - Day 9

In the game of life, there are winners and there are losers and there are also birds who play board games. Which one are you? Easy way to tell - do you own and use a Twitter account? The answer is clear! But the real winner is me, because I have all of you, and your 381 game crazy ponies! Who could ask for anything more? As of today, that brings our grand tally to 4062 images, which is yet another fantasic milestone. Ponies! Ponies by the thousands!

And as we zero in on the one third complete mark, let’s blow a noise maker (fweee!) and get ready for another day of pony. This is the part where it starts to get tough, no so much because of themes but just the happy little fellow known as attrition. So as you go through tonight’s gallery, I’d like to request you pop into a few galleries and offer the artists some compliments or thoughts. You don’t have to do it every night, but the impact that some kind words can have is extraordinary, and I hope you won’t underestimate it.

But, galleries, galleries, show me to the galleries! We’ve got arcades, we’ve got tabletops, we’ve got the freshly cut grass and always, always tiger blood. With… everything that entails. References and familiar faces, worn out places, wrong reference Phoe. Nevermind me, just step in, have fun, and try not to lose The Game.

Sometimes in the course of the NATG, some themes will echo of older ones. We certainly hope they don’t get stale. But even if it has a familiar feel, you can always have a new experience if you try out some different looks. Do I hear makeovers? I think I do! Tonight: Draw two ponies with swapped manes/Draw a pony made over. Get your entries here by 11:59 PM, Pacific time on Saturday, August 24. Everypony’s drawing for the weekend!
